Funny Things Heard On  UGA's Campus This Week

Summer has come and gone and the fall semester has returned to us. Most of us are experiencing mixed feelings about this reunion, such as dread for school work, excitement to see our friends, and everything in between. As I traveled around UGA this week I occasionally stopped to bask in the glory of the campus. Occasionally while doing this, I unintentionally ended up hearing bits and pieces of people's conversations. Here's a few that threw me out of my "taking it all in" moment and had me silently giggling instead.

1. WHY would you take her to Golden Corral?

2. "As the years go by I get older and all of my students stay the same age. I hate them."

3. "I got a confirmation email about football tickets, can I drop down to 9 hours now?"

4. "Everyone kept enthusiastically dancing even though the room was silent when speaker broke."

5. "I rode my bike to class today and only almost wrecked twice."

6. "We're going to go blow up 500 balloons, we'll text you when we're ready."

7. "Isn't it weird how feet come in different sizes?

8. "I tried to fix a toilet last night but it didn't work out."

9. "So there I was, dressed like scrambled eggs."

10. "She got electrocuted but it's all good."

11. "I think I broke my thumb. Wanna go to dinner?"

12. "My Heelys came in!"

13. "You never DM me on Instagram anymore."

14. "THERE'S A PIKACHU IN TATE!"

15. "I cried because I looked pretty but no one wanted to take any group pictures."

16. "The only bandaids I own have cuss words on them."

17. "Your mom just added me on Snapchat."

18. "Yeah he apparently has the Zika virus, but like it's not that serious."

19. "It was totally worth being tackled."

And lastly...

20. "I'm going to buy my books at the UGA bookstore after class."

Welcome back to school! May your semester be great.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
